An imposing bodyguard repeatedly says, “Diddy don’t do jingles,” before later adding that Diddy does do “hits.” “We'll take a hit,” one of the executives responds. The 60-second spot will run in the second quarter of this year’s Big Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 12.

Uber One, which launched in November 2021, is a paid membership service that gives users discounts on rides and food delivery. The teaser will air during the Grammys and the NFL Pro Bowl this Sunday (Feb. 5) and NCAA men’s basketball games ahead of the Super Bowl. It will also run on Uber’s social media channels. More celebrity cameos will appear in the full commercial, which will be released on Feb. 7.
